Marijuana Charges

Our Lawyers Cut Through The Confusion

Florida's marijuana laws can be very confusing, especially since residents recently voted to change the laws regulating marijuana in the state. Specifically, Florida voters overwhelming supported legalizing marijuana for medical purposes starting in January 2017.

But such recent changes have actually made Florida's marijuana laws even more confusing. Instead of marijuana being completely illegal in Florida, only certain people now have the right to legally possess marijuana.

If you have been arrested on a marijuana-related drug charge in Florida, make sure you fully understand all your rights. Make sure you contact the law firm of Aguilar & Sieron in Green Cove Springs, Florida. We have been helping people resolve complex cases for decades.

Is Marijuana Legal in Florida?

In November 2016, Florida voters overwhelming approved an amendment to the state constitution to legalize marijuana for medical purposes. But it's unclear exactly how the new legislation will work in Florida.

Mark Sieron understands how Florida's ever-changing legal system works when it comes to drug laws. A former Florida prosecutor, he was worked on both sides of the courtroom. That's what gives him and our law firm an advantage when it comes to tackling such tough cases.
